It was made from flowing water of Pokljuka glacier. The remain is today brook Ribščica, affluent of river Radovna. You can see here beautiful natural bridge, Pokljuka hole and Side gorge. Pokljuka hole is the cave hall with two entrances and three natural windows. Through the upper entrance leads the way to the Old Pokljuka. Side gorge gets in rainy days 22 metres long waterfall.
